Climate-SMART Forestry – a Near Real-Time Monitoring of Tree Vitality for Higher Decision Security in Managing and Protecting Riparian Forests

This dataset contains spatial and statistical data related to riparian forests in the region of Vojvodina, Serbia. The data were compiled and processed as part of a research project focusing on the classification, distribution, and temporal changes of riparian forest types along major rivers such as the Danube, Tisa, Tamiš, and Sava. The dataset includes: Raster maps and classified satellite imagery (.tif and .png formats), Vector layers and geospatial shapefiles, Tabular data with field-based and derived statistics, Forest typology maps and vegetation structure analyses, Comparative land cover data from 2012 and 2018 based on CORINE Land Cover (CLC), The visualizations and spatial layers were generated using GIS tools (QGIS, ArcGIS) and remote sensing methods. Public data sources were used, including: CORINE Land Cover (© EEA, Copernicus open access), EUFORGEN species distribution maps, National Forest Inventory of Serbia (NFI). All other processing, classification, and statistical analysis were conducted by the dataset author. Data are provided in multiple ZIP archives grouped thematically due to file count limitations.
